Chapter 6 part 4 The destruction of the old world

Jackie had watched over me as I sobbed for hours, finally I had stopped and walked on over to the palace.

I walked into the room where Cleopatra's corpse lay and picked it up heading straight to my ship.

I had walked passed the first door and 2 of the nobles ran up to stop me the moment the first man grabbed my arm trying to stop me I kicked him away without holding back, the second man ran towards the upper court.

I was on my way to my ship and proceeded to put Cleopatra into the resurrection chamber and initiated the resurrection.

Her body instantly restored then the panel that would restore a person's mind read failure, I knew Cleopatra would have chosen not to resurrect so I began altering her minds restore point to the morning of our wedding.

I had over ridden the protocols to stop this manipulation and Rameses entered into the room.

Rameses had drawn his sword and paced defensively as he tried to approach me then he said "Horas you can not forcefully resurrect her. She chose not to live on after what she has been through you will be reviving her just to watch her kill herself again."

I didn't even lift my head to view Rameses and replied "I know that so I choose to revive her from the morning of the wedding so she doesn't have to remember any of this."

Rameses stopped and pondered if he should allow this when Helen entered, Helen was still crying and had red eyes from crying.

Helen stepped up to the panel I was working on and said "Look into my eyes as I speak to you Horas!"

I lifted my head looking into Helen's eyes and then she said "My daughter called you the greatest man to ever exist and so do I. Are you truly willing to violate her will and reset her to suit your own desire are you that heartless?"

The over write had completed and I could initiate the restoration.

I pulled my hand away from the screen and had surrendered to Helen's words, in the next second Rameses stretched his hand onto the screen and initiated the resurrection.

The screen flashed red saying "Failure" I was shocked at this Rameses dropped to his knees and cried out "Why can't my baby come back."

I looked at him with a look of regret in my eyes and said "She loved a man who hated immortality so she rejected immortality that's why she felt like she would be a bad wife."

The pain was far worse then would have normally been I entered a new protocol into the panel and had Cleopatra's mind restored however her mind and body remained in stasis.

Helen and Rameses looked at me with a look of disapproval and I said "I couldn't leave her body devoid of her will so I restored her will and set her to eternal stasis so we don't have to watch her body die."

Rameses had wrapped his hands around my neck and strangled me saying "Restore her Horas, we can't leave her like that."

Helen put a hand on Rameses shoulder and said "Horas could never harm Cleopatra if she were dead or alive so he has honoured her will to not live by entombing our child's mind in her body."

Rameses loosened his grip and the 3 of us took Cleopatra's body to the crypt where the Army of Ra would sleep during stasis.

Her body lay at the farthest part of the crypt and we all paid our respects before finally leaving.

The ship had returned and all the nobles part of the army or Ra were summoned onto my vessel a great deal needed to be discussed.

Everyone in attendance except for myself, Jackie and his wife were members of Ra's army.

The room was dead silent and I stood up saying "We here today will need to once more engage and destroy Alexander Cronos. To each of you is the secret knowledge of how you fought the rebellion in the past however this time the rebellion has over taken the world without technology so we have 2 option.

First we can hunt and kill Alexander now and despite our numbers we may not be able to catch him.

The second option will be for me to set you all into stasis and 3 of us will hunt Alexander till we have his possible hiding places narrowed to a space we could cover in a lifetime.

At current I have surpassed the technology of the immortal Cronos so when you awaken you may never need to undergo stasis again."

Russell stood up and asked "Why don't you just roll out your technology now and we can hunt and squash Alexander."

I took a deep breath and replied "Alexander may not seem very powerful but he is intelligent and has conquered the world if we hunt him haphazardly there is no telling what he is capable of. To top that if we hunt him to aggressively he could end up stealing the technology I make as he has a drive that can over write and reprogram immortal technology."

Rameses suddenly spoke saying "Impossible only the great 5 had those drives."

I looked over to Rameses and replied "That's how he took my ship as far as I could tell the drive was neurologically locked to its user."

Rameses once more replied as he pulled a drive from his pocket "Did the drive look like this?"

I looked at the drive and replied "Yes exactly like that 1."

Rameses sighed and said "This drive is Zeus's and she unlocked hers for Alexander if he has 1 it means another of the great 5 helped Alexander with the rebellion."

The room seemed to stir at the idea and I said "Well considering all that I learnt we have 2500 to 3000 years till 1 of the great 5 emerge and if we can't stop him in that time his accomplice will appear."

Rameses finally spoke "We need to kill Alexander as such our oath to protect the will of the immortals will need to change to protect the will of Horas."

The meeting had concluded and Rameses along with several others had formed the Illumanati.

Jackie had piloted the first search party with the very specific rule of not directly engaging Alexander.

Rameses had sat with me explaining the fundamentals of the control device that the 5 used, apparently Hathor Cronos had developed the software for the device.

The device had taken this ships that had been forcefully taken allowing me to find that the software had a weakness to the healing pod code.

The work was intense and the pain that Rameses, Helen and myself felt over Cleopatra's death was lessened due to her being revived and placed in stasis the scary part was I restored her to the very second she boarded my ship.

The next 4 weeks were spent searching every inch of Europe and all that it produced was finding out that Alexander had gathered all the world's developments in the library of Alexandria.

If that information got out it was possible Alexander could push forward 4000 years in technology meaning he could become a far greater and permanent threat.

Many pieces of technology were distributed by me meaning that combining my technology could get you up to combustion technology.

Finally Rameses and myself had come up with a plan to burn the library to the ground and kill everyone involved in acquiring the knowledge.

We had several individuals embedded in the area overlooking the library and every action it had taken.

The search for Alexander had come to a close as no city had even seen him the plan was now finalized, the country of Egypt would rapidly fall and vanish.

China had abandoned their high power refinement and last but not least I agreed to no longer use technology in the world having my ships all locked down to prevent humanity from trying to get ahead.

I had to kill innocent people whom I called friends and to top that I had to betray friendships that had been forged over thousands of years.

In China I had assassinated the emperor and in Italy I had murdered hundreds of individuals educated in the construction of water technologies.

My terrible actions were necessary to wipe my foot prints from the world, my technology was simple but improved people's lives by too much giving them more time to progress.

I looked out at the world in this moment and realized I had become a villain to all mankind yet at the same time I could be the hero of all mankind if I succeeded in killing Alexander.

The forces of the Illumanati had attacked the library of Alexandria killing all those who gathered the information and last but not least they set the part of the library a blaze ensuring only progressive information would be burnt.

In the end bad information had been left costing humanity hundreds of years in progression.

The 3 individuals charged with seeking out Alexander were Jackie, his wife Kaguya and lastly myself I had been charged to monitor the contents of America, Jackie was charged with monitoring Europe and Africa lastly Kaguya was charged with monitoring all of Asia.

I had setup a brand new crypt in America however this crypt was set to make my monitoring and technology advancements grow rapidly.

The locations had been selected for each of us due to secondary objectives set by the Illumanati to keep humanity divided till we emerged.
